This recipe elevates the classic scallops dish with a zesty lemon butter sauce, perfect for a quick yet elegant meal.
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper.
Dry scallops sear better, creating a beautiful golden crust.
Dredge the scallops lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
A light coating of flour helps achieve a crispy exterior.
Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until melted and slightly browned.
Browned butter adds a nutty flavor to the dish.
Add the scallops to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside. Add lemon juice and parsley to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Deglaze the skillet with lemon juice to incorporate all the flavors.
Pour the sauce over the scallops and serve immediately.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
